Bioware games - endings

[JeffNY35]

Bioware games - especially the new ones ( DA, ME ) have a story driven cinematic quality to them. Bioware has gone so far to coin a ew phrase for them as being 'filmic'.One thing many of us enjoy and expect from these titles are the cinematic openigs and endings.Dragon age and Mass effect have some of the best I have seen. Dragon age was pretty damn thourough in its ending although some was cinematic, some was more of a text-epilogue.the epilogue is specific to some degree based on the choices u make.The next step to me is obvious and pretty cool.these games are Bluring the lines between movie and game.why not conclude the game with a full story cinematic that shows the whole game start to finish? even if it were say 20 minutes?imagine then - playing this streaming to your home theater in surround sound, essentially watching a movie of your game.this could replace tne traditional opening and closing cut scenes that give you the end and beginning.but rather you create the whole movie and get to see it in its glory upon winning?in a way, they are have begun this I suppose.

That would be pretty cool TBH. I like how story driven DA has been thus far, but I can see it being a huge turn-off to some people. The hardest part about it for me is that I feel like I'm messing things up when I respond to certain people and they end up not following me. I've said it before, but I feel like I have to save the game before I have any conversations.

ROFL a movie based on mass effect?

XD

That would be awesome... except Female Shepard > Male Shepard.

Well i think so.

Id rather spend 30 hours on a game looking at a girls ass then a guys ass. :X

Interesting - however it would have to be optional as most people don't have the patience. Perhaps make it an option of exporting your game changing decisions into a video that you can export / watch later?

The main problem here is that it would only appeal to small segment of Bioware's customers and therefore might not be worth a huge development effort. A more realistic approach may be an extra feature on the DVD that plays one or two single representative storylines from start to finish (maybe one lawful path and one chaotic path) over the course of 30 minutes.

They could probably implement this at a reasonable cost, but then you'd have the same problem they already with content - they can't really price above $49.95 base so it would be added value without the ability to mark it up unless they made it DLC.

The problem is, and this is extremely evident with BioWare games because they are so good at what they do, is that while the NPCs and the worlds are amazingly engrossed in the story, the play sticks out. This wouldn't make a very compelling movie.

KOTOR the movie
...snip...

For a non-cartoon version, who would play Bastila and would she agree to run around the entire movie in her underwear (and later in her Sith underwear)? The violence would earn the movie an R rating, anyway.

Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, 1979) is much too old, now. I remember her hosting SNL way back then, and the running joke of her striping down to her underwear every time the skits got intense.

How about Charleze Theron or Uma Therman.

If an actual KOTOR movie was ever made, I honestly wouldn't mind it being 100% CGI.
